The Democratic Party at Prayer Mon Oct 27, 2025 20:00 | Dr Roger Watson
The Church of England may not still be the Conservative Party at prayer, but the US Catholic Church, with its pro-migrant messages, certainly seems to be the religious wing of the Democratic Party, says Prof Roger Watson.

The Ban on Controlled Burning of Moorland is Making Wildfires Worse Mon Oct 27, 2025 18:06 | Ian Coghill
The Government's ban on controlled burning of moorland is making wildfires worse, says Ian Coghill. After a decade of record fires it claims the areas are 'in transition' to a magical state where they'll never burn again.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3I presume no labour public reps will be criticising cllr. Boyle for his remarks, they'll be afraid they might meet the same fate as Declan Bree.....
Nothing new i'm afraid as a motion was put before Balbriggan town council earlier in the year calling for deportations of unaccompanied children back to their country of origin. All Labour town councillors supported the motion. The chair of the council was labour and defended the motion as "not racist".
Quite a statement when 3 other councils across the country said it was.
First labour HQ knew about this was when i e-mailed them about it in June, still waiting for a response on what action they took (if any).
This is disgraceful, but not surprising in the slightest, and merely reflects a deep seated parochialism/prejudice in the townships more generally. Many local councillors do, afterall, spout what the voters in their local pub whinge about, regardless of party.
And where this instance is with regard to a German couple, you can only begin to imagine the prejudice boyle-ing (!) in the wee little townships littered across the county (not to mention their next-door neighbours and this island more generally) where non-Europeans are concerned.
Cheers LabourWatcher for the post, not with regard to Labour, but highlighting the deep-seated 'We don't like your type around here' mentality that is so widespread on the Island of 1000 welcomes. Slainte!
